POPULARITY OF THE SUN
LFOWER.


Of late years there has been an un.
usual demand for seeds Of sunflowers.
In some localities farmers grow the
plant for the seed, which they feed to
their poultry, but wherever corn will
grow plentifully it is to be preferred.
There is also an idea prevalent that
sunfower plants absorb the miasma
in damp and undrained places. Large
Russian is a variety grown in prairie
regions, where the stocks are some-
times used as fuel, the seed being fed
to poultry and swine. In Russia the
suniower is grown for the oil.
A very sensible use for sunfowers is
the one of growing them as screens to
unsightly outbuildings, or as a pleasing
background of color to the garden or
lawn. Good soil has muehto do with
the production of fine flowers: Plant
the seed whenever it is desired to
have the plants, and thin out to about
three or four feet apart in the route.

currency was in general use in, send
ing money by mail for small amounts,

stamp will be even better for the same
purpose, because, being supplied by
the government direct TO- postofices,
purchased from postmasters, and re-
deemable at pestofices only, like the
postage stamp, there will be no coun:
terfeiting, nor motive for counterfeit

suggestion and well worthy of the

REDEEMABLE STAMPS.

We published last week a short
communication under this heading
from an esteemed correspondent, over
the signature of "Notes from En-.
Derby" The writer is an honored son
Of Mecklenburg county, a farmer, one
who is proud of his profession, and a
man who does not allow his brains to
rest. He never speaks except when
he has something to say, and when he
says it, it is always something worth
saying.
The suggestions made in the COM
munication to which we have referred
above, are worthy of more than a
passing notice. If adopted, the re-
deemable stamps would, we believe, in
a short while take the place to a great
extent of the postal money order, and
postal note, both of which are less
convenient for the public and more
expensive to the government, requir-
ing in the Offices, in places of any
Importance, a special department with
clerks expressly employed for this.
1t takes time to write up these orders
and keep the record Of them that the
postal regulations require. It is also
the case that a large number Of the
people who have occasion to use postal
write with difficulty if they can
write at all, and must be shown how
to fill up the blank applications, or get
some one to do it for them. This is
especially SO in the South, with our
large colored laboring population.
There is too much writing, too much
lroutine regulation, too much mystery,
if we may use the word, in the money
order system to be of that advantage
to the mass of people for whose especial
convenience and benefit it was estab-
lished, which it should be, and which
. simpler and Q direct system,
which the redeemable stamp, as sug-
by our correspondent, would
give. This dispenses with special
clerks, with filing blank applications
and writing out blank orders and
duplicates, and gives us instead only
the buying of as many stamps as may
be desired of any given denomination
and paying the money for them,-a
very simple operation which any one
who knows how to count money could
perform.
No objection a be urged against
these stamps. as q circulating medium,
Jas they are not intended for general
circulation, although they take in q
great measure the place of the frac-
tional currency which has been with

IDLE BRAINS AND HANDS,.

Bishop Peck has lately produced
some prominent ideas about dormant
forces and idle muscles: He instances
the idle young man. Nopower comes
from his muscles. They were made
to be strong for work, but he does
nothing. His muscular ability is
simply good for nothing, and he is
good for nothing. Devoted to agri-
culture, or handicraft, the physical
force which is dormant within him
would give bread and health and res
probability. AS it is, he is only a nui.
sance; perhaps a loathsome object of
pity and contempt. And the bishop
takes the true ground, that an indus
trious young bootblack is better, and
is better off, than a loaing m~iscreant
sprig of a~ristocracy.
Work is demanded everywhere.
All departments of industry are Ian
gushing for want of faithful, skilled
workers, whether it be making streets,
saving wood or in the higher branches
of skill and art, and yet, witnesses the
good bishop, amid all the din of labor
in farming, manufactures, in all the
industrial arts, these men have nothing
to do! How did other men get work?
By thinking quickly and acting prompt
ly; by Selling the best, the first that
came to hand. Tramping, lounging,
begging, never gave employment to
any man. The thousands of idlers
have made themselves viciously brain
less. The lapse of powers, active and
bright enough in children, has come
of parental indulgence, gormandizing,
l~aziness, INDUCED dependence, drink
ing, disuse or misdirection. Grand
fields of industry, wealth and useful
ness lie all aronnd this idle, shiftless
nuisance, but he cannot think himself
into them. He has lost his sole eye
sight. The very bread, money, com
forts, elegances he signs for are within
reach of his hands, but he cannot see
them; wouldn't know them if he did
see them.
But he does not only denounce the
idler, he tells him how to find employ
ment. Employ yourself then. Sell
that apple instead of eating it. Sell it
and buy two. Sell the two and buy
more. Before you know it you will
have a basketful-be a trader, a e
chant, a valuable citizen. Dor not hang
about the city doing nothing. Push
out into the country; seize that saw
and axe; cut up a few sticks of some
body's wood. Earn your dinner.
Don't beg it. Get hold Of a spade;
show somebody that you r just the
man they have wanted for a long time
to make a garden. Seize a pillow, and
if you don't know how to hold it, learn.
Glands all blistered!" Very well.
Glad of it. The first signs Of life in
you. for a long time If you had bis
tered them before they would have
been tough and good for something
by this time.-Ameracan Cuhavator.
